Fans in the stadium and players from both teams had to flee to avoid injury. However, striker Juan Godoy – who scored the winning goal in the 3-2 victory for The Strongest – was not so lucky.

Juan Godoy didn't have time to react to the chaos before he was hit by a llorona firework thrown by a fan. The striker fell to the ground clutching his genitals. After receiving medical attention, he was carried off the pitch in pain.

Reports in Bolivia's El Deber newspaper indicate that Godoy suffered first-degree burns to his thigh and a hematoma in the testicular area.

The Strongest's UltraSur group is believed to be responsible for the incident. Bolivian media suspect that The Strongest fans used the fireworks to express their protest against the club's owners.
